FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features a water-repellent exterior, making it suitable for light rain or drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer would be recommended.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

How do I maintain the jacket's loft?

Tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls after washing and periodically during wear helps to re-fluff the down insulation and maintain its loft.

What type of material is the exterior made of?

The exterior is made of micro rip nylon, which is known for its durability and water-repellent properties.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?

Yes, the down filling provides significant warmth, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal garments is advised.

What are the pocket features?

The jacket includes one chest zip pocket for secure storage and two external pockets with Velcro closures for hand warmth or additional items.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood is fixed and not adjustable. It is designed to provide consistent coverage.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax along the zipper teeth and try again.

Down clusters are visible through fabric

This is normal for down products. Gently pull the fabric from the opposite side of the cluster to tuck it back in. Avoid pulling aggressively.

Jacket feels less warm after washing

The down may be clumped. Ensure the jacket is completely dry by tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls for an extended period until the down is fully lofted.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for nylon outerwear.
